Why Henrik Stenson's daughter might be the best chance of slowing down Jordan Spieth

April 08, 2016

Apparently, the best hope of stopping Jordan Spieth from claiming a second straight green jacket isn't a fellow golfer or even Spieth himself. It's a mischievous toddler. A mischievous toddler with access to Spieth's courtesy car.

On Friday afternoon, Henrik Stenson Instagrammed this adorable photo of his daughter with a devious caption.

Unfortunately for the rest of the field, Alice's best efforts didn't seem to work. Spieth made it to the course in time for his Friday tee time and birdied the first hole to open up a four-shot lead.

One of those players hoping to chase Spieth down is Stenson, who shot an even-par 72 in his opening round and had a late tee time on Friday. No matter how the Swede plays the rest of the week at Augusta National, though, he's already a big winner on social media.

In addition to Friday's Instagram, Stenson posted a video of him cruising down Magnolia lane while pumping Vanilla Ice on Thursday. Hopefully, Stenson -- and his daughter -- stick around for the weekend. If Spieth runs away from the field again, we could use the entertainment.
